Musings

Where do people go
When they just disappear?
Their lives but a memory
A dream in the night
Do they become angels
Watching over us by day?
Or are they simply
A figment,
Vanished,
When no one left remembers?

We Are

When the pain gets too much
Remember...We breathe together

When life gets too hard
Remember... We stay together

When the trouble is too scary
Remember... We are unafraid together

When we need to be apart
Remember... We are better together

When it all fades away
Remember... We light each other's way

When the world falls down around us
Remember... When we fall, together we rise.

When making folly in the name of art

Do you reveal your hidden heart?

Like every child has a toy

That brings to them a world of joy

There is one place where troubles start

Jealousy plays a major part

Without which wisdom we can impart

It all seems like a hidden ploy

When making folly in the name of art

The story needs a brand new start

Take heed and remember, play your part

It’s a life that most enjoy

No one wants to maim, destroy

But when making folly in the name of art

Repetition reveals the darker heart

Crux

Crux

Call out just once and I’ll be there

No matter how far away

Time will not alter or change me

My love is here to stay

Take time to make some revisions

I know it worries you so

But remember I will be here waiting

When you’ve reached your lowest low

The world does its best to break you

To put you down in your place

But I’ll be here to protect you

Wipe the shadows that darken your face

So call on me when the time comes

Lean on me, I’m steady as the Earth

But the hour is coming when questions will rise

Time to prove your mettle and worth

Why

Why

Why do you go where I cannot follow?

This path is not one I trod lightly

I promised to go where you lead

But the behavior you choose is quite unsightly

I feel lied to remembering the things you said

Time will pass people will forget

I’m an elephant though, I never will

The scars you’ve left will heal so slowly

It’s amazing how raw a cut can feel

Reduce me to feeling so incredibly lowly

Mayhap one day I’ll smile and laugh

Remembering a look or a glance or a grin

Right now the scars are too fresh, too raw

To notice anything ready to begin

I must wait for my heart to thaw

Sexual Politics

Sexual Politics

Endless potential in motion

A chance, perpetually begun

The world is your oyster my friend

Joining the battle is half the fun

Call out the trumpets of glory

Time to start a new story

We begin by tilting at blades

Where are the giants to slay?

We must rescue the honorable maids!

But the maids no longer need rescuing

In fact, they’re the ones raining fire!

Fairy Tales are hopelessly outdated

But without them you never feel sated

So we’re left with an unknown system

It’s very hard to assist them

To help slay the dragons, it’s hard to know

When people don’t behave as they should

Who’s to remember which side is good?

My memory is going...

I can no longer remember both of the parts of Handel's Hallelujah chorus.  I originally learned it in tenor, then I switched a year later to soprano.  After the teacher actually listened to me.  I could hit the tenor notes mind you, but I could hit the soprano easier. LOL  I think I could qualified as a true tenor now, after my thyroid issues.  I was playing around with recording some stuff and I said I know, I'll record both parts of the Hallelujah chorus.  Only to find I can't remember them.  I just love my mind, not! This is not acceptable.  I wish there was something to do about it.  Unfortunately, there is no real problem, hence no solution.  I've had a headache since 1994, that's probably part of it.  Or at least one of the medications I'm on.  I used to remember everything.  And I do mean everything.  Exact conversations.  Now, I have trouble with names.  It sucks.  I'm fighting the best I can.  It makes you feel like you can't win when you're thirty three and you feel like you're fifty.  I understand that there are people that are worse then I am.  I just get frustrated sometimes.  Zebras get lonely sometimes.  It's hard to find someone who understands exactly what it feels like to have stripes. They stick out but at the same time you blend in the jungle. Camouflage isn't always a good thing.  It may stop the person who could help you the most from noticing you. 

Isolation

There’s a place up on a mountain

Or a cabin by the sea

When the time comes to stop running

Come there to look for me

I might not be the best companion

By the time you come for me

By then we will both be grey

But at least we will be free

A focused mind amasses much skill

To doubt it would be unwise

Some say it is impossible

To be free from spying eyes

This is proper motivation

All one really needs to be

With constant love and devotion

One wholly becomes free

But that’s another story

For today we’re miles apart

Take a deep breath and remember

You’ve been written on my heart
